In this multimedia performative project I, a woman from the Caribbean and Abya Yala, engage as a subject wandering, confronting and playing with what she sees and senses in the city of Sevilla and its Archivo General. By performing different acts of “exploration” and “surfacing”, I aim to unveil the traps of the absolutism of these archives while embracing the once denied possibility of telling stories (His-Her-theirstories) otherwise.

Aus Hand und Stein / From Hands and Stones
aus Hand und Stein (From Hands and Stones) is an exercise of visual History storytelling from a non-western perspective in the context of western societies and arts. In this narration the facts are extrapolated and stylized with an imaginative tint and the objects represented in the archival images, as well as the materials from which they are made, are extracted from their source to be reinterpreted, staged and represented in new images.

In its own distinctive way, this series of unique pieces addresses the ongoing censorship and pressure faced by those speaking out in support of Palestine, and asks: What is left when the language is not a safe place to dwell? When naming becomes an act of lethal defiance?

This series explores a personal search for visual imaginaries shaped by the often-contradictory stories and realities of the Colombian Caribbean, along with the signs of coloniality that inform them.

The images of these ongoing series evoke concerns to the notion of endless “growth” and all that comes with it in the Caribbean region of Colombia. The project is still a work in progress.

Supporting Surfaces is my personal take for the photographic dialogue Concrete Discontinuities. In this series I go beyond the mere representation of the urban and reinterpret it metaphorically through photographic sculptures, stagings and documentary

In this sound piece, la rueda de Bullerengue (the Bullerengue circle) is understood as a multidimensional and relational space of circular temporalities.
The Cantaoras (Bullerengue singers) stay at the core of this communal becoming, as storytellers and guides for present and future generations.

Inspired by the storytelling by Manuel Zapata Olivella in his novel Changó, el Gran Putas and its foundations in the Muntu concept and Ubuntu worldview, Daughters of the Muntu offers a glimpse into the presence and stories of Muntu Americanas in the contemporary Colombian Caribbean region. This series presents visual translations of these stories as constellations of interrelated beings.

My first approach to photography was through the genre of selfportrait. With the camera in front of me I discovered the posibility to use my body to present and represent ideas, questions, desires, fears; to explore the social construct of feminity embeded in the culture I grew up in and to develop a way to comunicate with others beyond the spoken or written language.
